FAQs for Paignton
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Paignton?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your TQ3 postcode.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How we handle shower tray repair in Paignton
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, cast iron and stone resin, and common reasons people contact us are chipped corners or rims and chips or cracks by the plughole.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.
Repairing versus replacing in Paignton
The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
How to prepare

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What affects the price in Paignton
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Paignton. The price reflects:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your TQ3 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Paignton use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Check the seal every few months
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Report any creaking or movement early
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
When to call us in Paignton
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
People generally call us after spotting something like this:
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Chips caused during fitting
What your quote should include
- How soon you can use it again
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
